Abstract
The contents and scope of operations research has been described and defined in many different ways. Most of the people working in operations research will agree, however, that the modeling of problem situations and the search for optimal solutions to these models are undoubtedly important parts of it. The latter activity is more algorithmic, mathematical, or formal in character. The former comprises many more disciplines than mathematics, has been more neglected than mathematical research in operations research, and, therefore, would probably need more new advances in theory and practice.
